The Savannah Daily Herald. TIESDAY. APRIL 4. 1863. HtOJi OI K tVEMAL ElilTlO* OF YESTERDAY. ADDITIONAL FROM FLORIDA. [Special Correspondence of the Savaunah Herald.] Fkhsandina, Florida, March 28, 1865. The steamer Petrel came into this place last night with the Wyoming in tow. The Wyo ming left Jacksonville at 4 p. m on Sunday, to meet the Petrel off St. Johns bar and trans fer her passengers and mails, to be carried by the Petrel to Port Royal according to an ar rangement made between General Scammon and Mr. Biglow, the agent for the company, chartering the Petrel tor the cotton permit trade. The Wyoming failed to reach the bar in time to go over Sunday night. Sho crossed the next morning for Feruandina. When about five miles from shore, the crank pin broke, rendering her machinery completely useless. The Wyoming was Bent to Florida to run on the St. Johns river, and considered utterly unfit to goto sea. She was soon dis covered to be leaking badly, and her situation was such that she might go to pieces any hour. A party of ladies and gentlemen who bad started from Jacksonville to make a lit tle excursion down the river, expecting to return the sameeveniug,were onboard. For tunately lire Petrel was still outside,and soon discovered the position of the Wyoming. She went with all possible speed to the rescue. The two steamers were connected and reach ed this port in safety last night. Had the Petrel not been ou hand at the time, the Wyoming must have been lost. As it was, it is considered a very narrow escape. A party of w reckers have for some days been engaged in raising the St. Maty, a steamboat sunk by the rebel* last year in Cedar Creek, some ten miles above Jackson v..k, W;_ seventy bales ot cotton. She was £Xj .'a iiliOal U.-day bstL quite trequent of • ... . Caua.ry they are ac c . * t *rgc arrival from Dixie. A sho.a umc aince bixty-two persons arrived at one time. Among them was Mrs. Howe, lady of Brig.-Gen. Howe, U. S. A. Ex changes of papers usually take place. A Quincy Semi-Weekly Dispatch says it has received a copy of tile Savannah Daily Hi. halo, “a miserable seven-by-ninc sheet, priuted with the press ana type stolen from the office of the Daily News.’’ Some ten or twelve of the First Florida (Union) Cavalry, while on a laid last week, were captured. One of them named Dean was identified as a deserter from the rebel army, and was to be shot, at Baldwin on Sunday. A General Order has been issuer! giving the command of the District to .Col. B. C. Tilghmah, Third U. S. C. TANARUS„ during tho ab sence of Gen. Scammon. Capt. Jno. 11. Moore has been relieved as Chief Quartermaster of this District, aud goes to Charleston. Capt. George D. Hart is his successor. Horse Racing on the Public Streets.— One of our reporters yesterday witnessed a disgraceful and most dangerous scene of horse racing on one of our most public streets by white men dressed iu cavalry uni form. West Broad street is a public thor oughfare, aud pedestrians, particularly wo men and children, have their undoubted right to walk that street without risk of life or limb by the acts of reckless and drunken horsemen. The fact that the day chosen for this ex hibition was Sunday, adds to the enormity of the offence. We did not learn the sequel, but we trust tin 1 offenders had an opportu nity of of cooling their ardor in the Guard House. Second PkovostCoirt —Judge Walton has under consideration this morning a largo number of cases. The following are those dis posed of: Street Commissouer vs. John Fleming (colored) violation of General Order No. 10, fined $5. Special Police vs. Harrison 11.

Mrs. Mary M. Marshall, vs. Bradford (col ored) Claim for recovery of rent. Ordered that Defendant pay to Plaintiff the sum of $lO from January 10th to the 31st, and S2O per month from February Ist, to April Ist.

An arrival from Morehead City, to-night, brought no important news except a confir mation of the other reports in regard to Sher man 's movements and those of his army.

THE aVCCKSSFL'L RAID IN FLORIDA. “remember fort pillow.” Accounts from Florida state that the sol dier who was killed in the recent raid t orn Jacksonville, was Sergeant Bonn, who had command of the expedition. Tho Sergeant had leveled his musket at a rebel, when she man exclaimed, “Dont shoot me ; I surrender.” The Sergeant then dropped his gun, exclaiming, “come along, then ; nobody will hurt you." The rebel ad vanced to within a few yards, and suddenly drawing a musket from behind him, fired, killing the Sergeant almost instantly. The colored soldiers then raised the cry, “Re member Fort Pillow,” and fought with the fuiy of tigers. Our men were victorious, killiug 2G out of 32 of the enemy. OUR ROOK TABLE.

How a Battle -Field Loot}.—We find i tits subjoined description ot a Battle-Field in the New York Tribune. It will give an i idea of the horrors of such a scene to those j who have never been compc-llod to witness it: I Tho dead of yesterday’s battle are strewn ! over the tort in every conceivable attitude of i agony and horror. Some have been para- ' l.yzed by death in the attitude of holding and j righting their rifles, their pieces having after- ! wardfallen from their relaxed hands. Others > tie with the" skuiis shattered and the brain exposed to full view. Soma wear a calm • and pleasant expiession on their faces, while j ottier couuten acta arc stamped in most ex-1 eructating agony. At the toot’ of the into- i nor slope ot the sea-wall, there are-many I largo guns which have been dismounted and j tumbled down. Among these are entangled i rebel dead in almost every shano and pcei-! tion, some standing on their feet and others i on their heads, all glaring and grinning! ghastly ahko upon the passer-by. !
